Garden calendar choose, use ice melters wisely
The mild fall shifts attention to icy hazards as winter nears. Calcium chloride melts to 25 F but leaves slick surfaces. rock salt works to 12 F but harms soils and metals. urea melts to 21 F and is less corrosive but can contaminate water. Salt exposure harms plants via spray, salty soils, or sodic soils, potentially killing them.
